Abstract
Improving the efficiency and precision of gene editing systems is of utmost importance for modern molecular biology and genetic engineering. Of particular interest is the design of controlled CRISPR/Cas9 systems, the activity of which could be regulated using various physicochemical stimuli, such as light irradiation, pH change, temperature, change of molecule concentration, and others. A promising direction in this area is the development of approaches to control activity at the level of guide RNA through photosensitive modifications to the structure and sequence of guide RNA, and additional oligonucleotides. This review focuses on the analysis of publications on design of photosensitive guide RNAs and their applications in gene editing systems using CRISPR.

期刊介绍:
Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
